EVEN RECORD AT 2-2 !

The Cascades Rapids traveled to Burke Centre on Saturday and beat the legendary Penguins 233-211. The meet was close all day with every swimmer giving 100% and the lead changing with almost every race. With the meet on the line the 15-18 boys medley relay took center stage and pulled off what can only be described as “the miracle in the pool”. Burke Center’s finest built up what looked like an insurmountable lead through the first 3 legs of the race but William Lin swam a blazing fast anchor leg and out touched the Penguin freestyler sealing the Rapids victory. The last 10 meters of this race were amazing !

Wow ! What a finish !!

The 15-18 boy relay team also set a new team record with that swim ! Way to go Max Propp, Bryce Dowling, Sean Hurrell, and William Lin!

There were numerous outstanding performances today including 4 other team records set by William. Triple winners included Rachel Williams, William Lin, Karen Hood, and Nelson Chen. Double winners included Ryan Murphy and Nicholas Sibley. The win was a total team effort!!

The Rapids come back home next week to face the 4-0 league leading Franklin Farm Froggers. Every year the Frogger meet comes down to the last relay and my guess is this year will be no exception.

Thanks to Mike Marrocco for the meet review!!!
